Streetball is a fast paced documentary that tells the stories of South Africa’s 2008 and 2009 Homeless World Cup teams. The Homeless World Cup is an annual soccer tournament that draws teams from over 80 countries—comprised of homeless individuals and the excluded.  The SA Squad consists of ex-convicts, former gangsters, orphans and recovering drug addicts that band together to represent their country, proving that no one is beyond redemption.   Streetball is a story of hope and of the resilience that dwells within the human spirit.   But while these mens’ dreams are simply to have a home and to be recognized as people who need care, often times the realization of those dreams is accompanied by a sobering reality.

Directed by Demetrius Wren.
